shoes displayThe shoes looked very old and used and even a defect on one of them. It looks like these shoes came from "shoes display", since also the packages (the sponges and the paper etc.)

Good fit, poor qualityI bought this shoe for my friend, which was a great fit. Unfortunately, the quality of the shoe was poor. I returned them and now waiting for a new pair.

A really comfortable shoe - my second pair.I originally bought this shoe over a year ago in tan. Got a stain on one and decided to get another pair. This pair, though the same size is tighter across the top of my foot thanks to the sewn in strap being maybe just a 1/8" shorter. I'm banking on some stretching to help with the comfort factor. Otherwise a solid show that hold up really well. Gave 3 stars for comfort on this pair, whereas the original pair were 5 stars.
BTW, the old shoe was stained with olive oil, so on the advice of my shoe shop, I coated the rest of both shoes with same olive oil. They look hand-dyed and really great.

Sole comes looseAfter about 2 weeks of wearing the shoe, one of the soles came loose. I attempted to have a local shoe repairman fix the sole, but he stated it would be difficult to repair due to the hardness of the sole. After about 2 days of wearing the shoe after this repair, it started to loosen up and also another one of the sole plates also began to peel off as well. Other than the sole of the shoe, it is a comfortable shoe and is relatively easy to put on and off.

Love my New RockportsI am on my feet alot so the comfort of a rockport shoe is unmatched. I am very pleased with my new rockports and there's no comparison. I will always order from rockport with all of my future shoe purchases. I will wear only rockport shoes because of the quality and amazing comfort.

Love my RockportsI've been a Rockport customer for years and this style does not dissapoint. Very comfortable, solid design. I have Rockports that are six years old that are STILL in excellent shape. I would definitely put the Balabour in this class of excellence in footwear.

Comfortable as usual but...I have been wearing Lockport's Balabours for years. Just before I left on a month long trip I ordered two pairs delivered to the place I was renting. One pair, the English tan color, was damaged with noticeable black and gray spots. Also, the fit seemed a bit snugger than my old ones, but still fit me fine since my feet are narrower than average for a D width. The darker color came undamaged. If I were home, I would have returned the damaged shoe, but that option was not available to me as I needed to wear the damaged one.
